The wisdom of Eminem: chance meetings

I've never been a big fan of Eminem (pictured), but I have to give him credit for understanding the importance of capturing a moment. He may have this down better than anyone. Consider the chorus of Lose Yourself:
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go (ho!)
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo...
The entrepreneur is always looking for that chance to blow. And I think it's important that we look for it. That we're ready for it. That even if we have sweaty palms and a dry mouth, we reach out and grab it. You just never know when you'll meet an investor with deep pockets on an elevator or an airplane or standing in line. And when you do, then you'll be glad you have a mission statement and that you committed it to memory.
